Dwayne Johnson Reveals Rampage Plot Bit

Dwayne Johnson has confirmed that Rampage will indeed by his next project, a plot bit, and the role he's playing.
There's no denying that Dwayne Johnson is one of Hollywood's most hardworking actors. And now, he is slated to jump into what appears to be another gigantic spectacle of a movie; the film adaptation of "Rampage" the beloved tower arcade game in which monsters destroy cities. Johnson took to Instagram to give some plot details and a sense of how the game has been constructed as a story, which will center on an anti-poaching unit led by Johnson and his albino-gorilla friend, George, who becomes one of the famous monsters from the game thanks to a groundbreakings serum. I can’t say that this sounds particularly original but the storylines in movies like this almost never matter – it’s the performers, the direction, the CGI, and the overall look of the film that will decide whether this is a success.

Here’s Johnson’s text from the Instagram post:
"Goin' primal. Good to finally have boots on the ground here in Georgia for production of RAMPAGE. I head up an anti poaching unit out of Rwanda. My best friend is a rare albino gorilla named, George. Very bad people infect George, an alligator and a wolf with a serum. All three animals grow at an unprecedented rate. Their size, speed, agility and violent aggression is off the charts. They go on a deadly rampage and want to destroy the world. George not happy. Me not happy. When animals like you, they lick you. When they don’t like you, they kill you. I will hunt down the bad people who did this to my best friend. And when I find them, I will not lick them.

We have the best VFX monster making team (WETA) on the planet. Our actors and crew have been working very hard to raise the monster genre bar. As always, let’s have some fun. Let’s shoot."
